As Sevda-Cenap And Music Foundation, we are here with our festival that we have been organizing since 1985 on behalf of Ankara, with the belief that art must exist;

Our longest-running and international festival in Ankara, which has principles and traditions such as the performance of opening and closing concerts by symphonic orchestras, reflecting the musical capacity of the capital Ankara and our country, performing the works of Turkish composers, supporting our young soloists and taking part in international collaboration concerts, and first performances, is 39 years old.

Between April 4-30, 2025, nearly 250 extraordinary artists and groups from 11 countries, including Turkey, many of whom will be coming to our country for the first time, will be with us in 13 different programs, from classical music to modern dance, from flamenco to jazz, to be held in 7 different halls. Don't miss this unique feast.

Our 39th Festival is organized with the main sponsorship of Sevda-Cenap And Music Foundation, with the contributions of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey and local and foreign institutions, with the honorary membership of Sabancı Foundation and And TTS, and with the support of you, art lovers.

The 39th International Ankara Music Festival poster, signed by Kayahan Kaya, the award-winning designer of the poster competitions organized by our foundation and the winner of this year's competition, brings our Ankara Cat, the symbol of our region, to concerts.

We missed Ankara's spring, our festival and of course you too. Come, let's witness the first vocalizations in the world and in Türkiye together and meet at this most special music festival that has become a classic for Ankara.
